The Blind Computation: A Pancomputational Ontology of Time's Arrow and Subjectivity

This paper presents a unified pancomputational framework that resolves two of the most persistent anomalies in the philosophy of science: the physical directionality of time (the "Arrow of Time") and the ontological emergence of subjective experience (the "Hard Problem" of consciousness). Rejecting both dualism and purposive cosmology, the manuscript introduces a rigorous "Information Ontology." It posits that the universe operates as a blind, non-unitary computational process. By applying Landauer's Principle at a cosmological scale, the framework demonstrates that the arrow of time emerges directly from the thermodynamic necessity of irreversible information erasure. Within this mechanistic paradigm, the paper synthesizes two novel hypotheses: The Singularity Topology Hypothesis (STH): Redefines black holes and cosmic singularities not as mathematical pathologies, but as terminal informational boundaries required for the system's structural evolution. The Primordial Activation Source Hypothesis (PASH): Reframes consciousness as a lawful, localized physical phase-transition coupled with thermodynamic dissipation, rather than a fundamental substance or an emergent illusion. Finally, the framework yields a precise physical-ontological demarcation criterion between algorithmic isomorphism (e.g., AI hallucinations) and manifested subjectivity, offering a robust metaphysical grounding for the post-materialist informational turn in contemporary science.
